dc.description.abstract | Background: Alcohol use imposes a significant global burden of disease among the youth.
Objective: We investigated the level and risk factors of alcohol use among the youth seeking health services at
Marie Stopes Uganda (MSU) and Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) clinics in Mbarara Municipality, Southwestern
Uganda.
Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Marie Stopes Uganda (MSU) and
Reproductive Health Uganda (RHU) Clinics in Mbarara Municipality, southwestern Uganda. 336 youth attending the
MSU and RHU clinics for health care services between August 1, 2012 and September 1, 2012 were included in the
study.. We used the AUDIT to examine alcohol use. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used
to test the study objectives.
Results: About 80% of youth reported any alcohol use (n=270). Residing closer to the source of alcohol drank in
the past fortnight, history of familial alcohol misuse, other substance use and being employed youth were positively
associated with alcohol use.
Conclusion: Prevalence of alcohol use among the youth was found to be high. Residing closer to the source of
alcohol, history of familial alcohol misuse, other substance use and being employed bear implications for alcohol
use. | en_US |
